wine users - Apr 2011 - Homefront dedicated Server

hey guys,

for some days the homefront dedicated server files are released, but just for
windows.

I'm trying to get it run with linux squeeze 6.0.

After I successfull installed wine and uploaded the homefront files to my
server, i've tried to start the dediacted homefront server with:

> wineconsole --backend=curses HFDedicated.exe SERVER ?maxplayers=32
-queryport=27025 -authport=10100 -rconport1=15100 -rconport2=20100
-configsubdir=DedicatedProfile_Zap-Hosting -nohomedir

I get follow message and no running server:

I'm a totaly wine noob, so maybe some of you could help me.

best wishes

Clearly the applications expects to produce a graphical output.

Plus, NEVER run Wine as root!

great work.

good thread.

thanks martin, but to change the run level to multi-user use of wine won't
solve my problem.

Any other ideas?

No thats wrong. I askes about starting without a graphical interface, but not as
a way to avoid becoming hacked

thanks usurg for your suggestions.

Ive tried your command but nothing happens:

> root at babe916:/home/r12_test122/game/1251_27025/binaries#
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder.exe= wineconsole --backend=curses
HFDedicated.exe SERVER ?maxplayers=32 -queryport=27033 -authport=10100
-rconport1=15100 -rconport2=20100 -configsubdir=DedicatedProfile_Zap-Hosting
-nohomedir
> root at babe916:/home/r12_test122/game/1251_27025/binaries#

No running server and no error msg  :(

hey martin,

thanks

how to run it over VNC?

No. That means you do need running X server. You can still run it without real
graphics card, Google for "headless xserver".

After it's running (on your server) you can connect to it via ssh (if you
don't need to interact with your program) or VNC.
